Activity 2: Question Game. Estimated duration: 14 min

Thermal Run

At the start of this game, you will learn about particle motion. After a series of facts, you will race through a tunnel in a spacecraft. You must soar through barriers and collect coins. If you do not navigate around the barriers, you must answer a question correctly to continue. The start of each level gives you a new piece of information.

Activity 3: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 12 min

Thermal Flow (Mid)

The goal of this game is to help you learn about thermal energy through experimentation. You will be given different foods, like steak and ice cream, to place near hot and cold sources. Your goal is to maintain a safe temperature for that food. As you play, the game will teach you about thermal energy and how heat is transferred between objects.

Activity 6: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 13 min

Flow of thermal energy (Mid)

You are a young engineer in a lab, and it is your day to learn about thermal energy. Each level imparts a new task related to heat transfer. Most of the tasks require you to heat up different materials like bricks, aluminum or plastics and measure or watch the change in temperature of each. You will try out fifteen different experiments to understand thermal energy.

Activity 7: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 12 min

Temperature, Thermal Energy and Particle Motion

This game is a simulation of how temperature is related to particle motion and thermal energy. It is a step by step explanation of the role of heating sources, thermometers, and kinetic energy involved in particle motion. You will have to complete basic tasks such as adding heat, reading a thermometer, and sorting cups based on temperature. Complete all stages of the game to win!
